Sound Effects Part 2

By: Cynthia Steven

Selene Violet kept her head down, walking through the hallways thinking, 'Why in the world am I here...?'

Selene asked this question to herself frequently. Mostly because of the reason she ALSO went to "The Academy". What kind of talent did she have? All she was (or, at least appeared to be) was a frail, normal girl with split-ended brown hair, vintage clothing, the shyness factor lower than a koala, and was the target of all the bullies.

"Move it, freak," a popular freshman said shoving her into a group of lockers. Selene didn't need to look back to know that was Claire Grae who pushed her, and her group and her were laughing at her.

Selene stumbled and accidentally pushed the locker to another freshman's locker close. "I'm sorry," she managed to mumble out, for she could tell that this girl would soon end up in Claire's game and become a popular.

"No problem!" the girl said giving her a warm smile.

Selene stood there speechless. How could a popular-to-be possibly be nice??

She quickly walked away from the scene, never daring to look back at the one girl who could raise her back up from despair.
